Electrochemical performance study of polyaniline and polypyrrole based flexible electrodes

The increasing demand for compact and functional electronics has led to significant rise in research interest the development of versatile energy storage systems. With this perspective notion, herein, we fabricated electrically conducting polymer-based flexible carbon cloth (CC) electrodes assessed their electrochemical performance. Briefly, polyaniline nanofibers (Pani-NFs) polypyrrole nanotubes (PPy-NTs) were synthesized by interfacial polymerization reactive self-degrade template method, respectively. physico-chemical properties as-synthesized nanostructured polymers characterized with help X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), transmission (FETEM) Raman spectroscopy. performance Pani-NFs PPy-NTs coated CC was evaluated 1 M H2SO4 electrolyte a potential window ?0.2 0.8 V versus saturated calomel electrode (SCE). yielded maximum areal capacitance 0.79 0.74 F.cm?2, respectively at constant discharge current density 10 mA.cm?2, which determined from charge-discharge curve during discharging period. results demonstrate portable wearable applications.
